Coffee Break: A cozy fire

The temperatures have dropped this week, we're headed towards a stressful and perhaps lonely set of holidays, and it feels like we've settled into the start of a long winter.

So let's build a cozy fire together today.

For today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that mention fire or burning?

And to be clear, we're looking for like......a cute, friendly fire. Not a "burn your house down" fire. A "gather 'round the fire, fire". You get it.

Thanks to Loran for the theme idea today.
